As for voting intentions, the situation is nothing less than historic. Six months ago national polls gave Poilievre a twenty-point lead, as he savaged Justin Trudeau daily. Now the Liberals (in our poll) have almost as strong a lead, even as PP tries to destroy Carney. This 40-point swing in such a short period of time is without precedent in Canada.

10s of 1,000s of stalled house building projects alone in his electorate? Don't believe.

I think it's a rort to get money to mates.

Where are they getting all the money from? Good economic managers? Left country with nearly 1 trillion in debt, which #Labor has reduced.

Fuel excise cut not going to do much imho.

The cost-of-living crisis seeds were sown in the 10 years they in power.
